Winter Garden Series
Join us at the village this Thursday to hear from Catherine Bell, co-founder and chair of the Garden to Table Trust.
Catherine is dedicated to ensuring children grow up with a love for good food, and an understanding of the joy it can bring. The charitable trust supports schools and kura to take learning out of the classroom and into the garden, teaching thousands of Kiwi kids’ knowledge and skills that transforms their hauora - wellbeing - and the world around them.
This will be a Covid-safe event and RSVP is essential. Please call Colin or Becky on 09 525 1109 to secure your place.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
